Is sicklied o’er with care,

And all the clouds that lowered o’er our housetops,

With this regard their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action.

’Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. But soft you, the fair Ophelia;

Ope not thy ponderous and marble jaws,

But get thee to a nunnery—go!

Carados.

The Referee, Dec. 21, 1884.
